II say, hold on, will some one please
Head off that old umbreila7
Hi everybody stop, say
know it wants to run away
With yonder little fellow.
"He thinks he's having lots of fun
To judge him by his laughter;
But then I've not the slightest doubt
His mother doesn't know he's out,
Or she'd be coming after"
But Johnny didn't care bit
For all their fun and joking:
For through the dusty streets and heat
He toddled on and minded not,
Although it was provoking.
For was this not the very day
The people set for praying
That God might send the welcome rain
So earth would bud and bloom again
And urge her fruits delaying?
Since vanished spring and thirsty earth
Felt not the slightest showers;
Each blade of grass had turned a whisp,
The leaves were all adry and crisp;
And faded were the flowers.
The scorching meads no longer held
The clover sweets for grazing;
The thirsty herds the fields forsook;
And, painting, by the vanished brook
Stood sadly, mutely gazing.
The skulking ours looked wildly forth
From eyes to madness turning;
Tapped eagerly each stagnant pool,
Or vainly sought the shade to cool
The inward fever burning.
And many an anxious heart that day
Was sore with fear expressing;
They prayed the drouth might have an
end,
And heavens above in mercy send
A deluge Of a blessing.
Still Johnny followed with the rest
And innocently eyed them;
While many kindly face and sad
Smiled to behold the little lad
Trot patiently beside them.
Upon the steps the parson stood
To greet his congregation,
And as they passed within he cried,
Lord, send thy mercy in tide
OF blessed inundation."
And then q smile came DER his face
As Johnny's form drew nearer.
"Now why" he asked, ''do you, pray,
Bring your umbrella out to-day;
The sky was never clearer?"
Said Johnny with his little face
Serene with trusting power,
"Tause, sir, doesn't want to get
My dwess. and shoes, and stockings wet,
When bod sends down the shower"
Now, bless your trusting little heart
Such faith! Who could resist III
And taking him In his embrace
He looked within the childish face
And reverently kissed it.

Use He-No Tea because it is pure. II you
question its purity, ask your doctor
about 1t.
If you like a fine flavor in Tea, then try
He-No Tea, for its flavor being its natural
one, it Is the best.
Every cent of the cost of He-NO Tea Is
to be found in the drinking qualities.
Nothing is paid for appearance; it is a very

Farmers, buy your Tea like you buy your
horse-because he is a good worker. He-Ns
Tea will do twenty-four hours work day
and never tire.
When you make up your mind to TT
He-NO Tea, ask your stOrekeeper for 1t; hs
can get 1t for you If he Is a 1.-Two merchant.
Pure Tea like He-No Tea is q great tenn
perance preacher; 1t will do more good
than talking.
Pure Tea is the poor mans friend 1t is
economy to use 1t three times a day; 1t
makes food go farther.
One trial will establish the reputation of
He-No Tea, and you will thank this adver-
tisement for calling your attention to 1t.
Notice that the genuine He-NO Tea is
always sold In metal-lined packages
pound, half and quarter sizes. =
When you buy a package of He-NS>gyea
you know just what you are getting 1t Is
always the same.
Homo Tea is sold only in the paper bags
Of one pound, half-pound and quarter
pound sizes, each bearing the Trademarks
and the name of Martin Gillet s. Co.
The He-No of 'S7 is better now than ever
before, because with the decline of the
markets in China the very choicest leaf
can be bought in its natural state, to
sell here at the price He-No is sold at.
He-No Tea of 's7 is better than it ever
was the adily-increasing demand for 1t
L. proof of this.
Hot He-NO Tea Is the best preventive
Of colds, and man can do more work and
feel better with Tea than b can without.
"He-No Tea cam upon us like the tele-
phone, and is now - ,ecessity," writes a
lady, and we get may such letters.
Is 1t wicked to quote the Koran? Whethef>
It is or not, you will find this: "The sting

the blessing of the prophet is in the herbs

erence was directed to He-NO Tea.
The maxim that nobody is hurt by being
abused is verified in He-NO Tea. 1t has
been more laughed at and abused than any
article of diet, and all because 1T was an
attempt "a successful one as it turns OUT to
show how simple a thing Tea really was,
and what an absurdity it was to buy Tea
because 1t was nice to look mt. People in
the cities where He-No Tea has been intro
duced know by experience the great merits
It possesses, and We would like all at least
to try 1t. They speak for themselves.
A quarter-pOund package is very trifiing in
cost and will every purpose for test

SHORT ITEMS OF FACTS.

Briefly, a reputation which endures and
increases with the progress OF time, and
which, after the lapse of many years, IL
more widely and firmly established thaE
ever before, can only be founded upon supe-
rior merit. This is cOncisely the history o.
He-No Tea.
The first Tea sold in England was i'm
ported by the Dutch East India Company
in 1866, and was shipped from Batavia
the'capital of India.
The first China Green Tea from China
arrived in England in 1907.

The Right of City to Levy on Lots
at stake in the Conrts.

AUGUSTA, GA, March 5.-Judgs
Roney has decided another test case
against the city authorities, which is not
only full of interest. but IN which many
property owners are involved. Being a
test case, it will probably be followed BY
others. Ia January Messrs. Hook and
Montgomery, representing E. j. Murphy
and Others VS.. the City Council, filed
Oil OF injunction restraint X the city
from collecting the assessment made
on lot owners, adjoining whose premises
work was done on the streets opposite
and charged against the lot owners. To.
day Judge RoneV sustained the argu.
ments OF Messrs. Hook and Montgomery
and granted the injunction, which Will
be permanent unless reversed by the
supreme Court. City Attorney Jonn s.
Davidson mas not yet dec ided whether be
Will take the case up, but it Is very
probable 1T will be tested in the Supreme
Court. If this decision holds the city's
assessments on similar cases will be
shown 10 be unco stitutiOnaI or beyond
tue power OF Council, and il will stand
along with Judge Roney's decision in
reference to real estate assessments in
the Interest OF taxpayers and property
holders.

MEMPHIS, TENN, March 5.--Informa-
ton obtained from steam boat men shows
a bad state OF affairs down the river be-
tween this city ana Arkansas City. In
this district hundreds of men, mostly
whites, are engaged In levee work for
the government and the State OF Missis-

and every pay day some OF them 20 to the
landings TO await the steamer for Men,

and gangs of negro river pi-
rates and thieves watch them and
assault the laborers and rob them Of
their money. and it ia estimated that no
less than twenty murders have been
committed this winter by these outlaws
and at least hundred instances of rob-
berry. The levee camps are generally
several miles back from the river, and as
the only police officers are til" Sheriff and

Ihe Crooked commissioners Shak-
ing in Their Boots.

CHICAGO, March 1.-The Even
ing journal, in an article respecting the
expected prosecution of certain members
OF the Cook county Board OF Commission.
ers, says: THE dilemma of the boodlers
grows worse daily. 1t is time for all
honest people to rejoice when a States
Attorney can approach a member of the
County Board of more than ordinary
prominence and tell him that If he will
resign his place on the board and tell US
all Ae knows he Will be spared criminal
prosecution. 1t ia SAID to be a fact that
at least one member whose name is very
familiar to the public ear is now seriously
considering that very proposition.
PAYMENTS STOPPED.
AS II to add to the CONSERVATION OF the
ring, the States Attorney has requested
That the payment Of all orders to long
list OF suspects be stopped. Warden Var
nell made the discovery late yesterday
when he asked to have an old warrant
relssued. The board clerk said the reIs-
sue had been stopped by States Attorney
Grlnnell. The news was quickly con-
veyed to the gang Of Commissioners and
the Wardens, who are known to be In the
same box. At Attorney Grinnelps re-
quest, Gen, Stiles, who rendered such aid
IN the Macklu case, has been retained to
assist IN the prosecution of the county
thieves. The tying up of large batch OF
. warrants Is expected to bring in some
more squealers. One prominent man,
furnisher OF supplies at extravagant
prices, is thoughtto have turned intormer
since Attorney Grinnelfs order to stop
the payment OF the warrants.
IN DESPERATE STRAITS
Tive things show very clearly how
desperate the suspected ones feel. The
trst is that they have retained Luther
Latin Mills for their defense, and have
made repeated efforts to retain other
prominent attorneys. The other lndioa-
ton Is the suspicious movements OF GER
tain OF the gangs members, as If they
contemplate spending the summer
abroad. All these things reach Attorney
Grinnell much more quickly than the
shreWdest of them suspect. This is not
all. Their efforts to travel suddenly are
anticipated, aud papers to legally hold
them are even now in the hands
Of The officers. Next week will
open with much anxiety on
the part of the wardens, Commissioners
and employees, because on Monday the
venire for the special grand jury will
issue and will be returnable at once.
After the jury is impaneed Tuesday
the guilty parties will not know the day
or hour when they will be invited to go
in before the tribunal and tell the story
or their crookedness. As time is precious
to the attorneys preparing the evidence,
it is probable that the special jury will
be engaged for time with other alters
that would properly come before the
regular March grand jury.

senger depot and the ferry houses of the
Pennsylvania railroad, making the third,
was discovered today, The first attempt
Thursday night was by means of a bottle
OF inf1ammabie liquid placed in the gen.
tlemen'S closets,whica set the building on
fire. but did only slight damage. The SEQ
ond attempt was made about the same
time and apparently by the same man
who placed the bottle in the deTot closets.
He placed similar bottle under one of
the seats in the ladies' cabin of one of
the company's finest ferry boats, lying at
the dock waiting for passengers. One of
the deck hands discovered the bottle, and
thinking it forgotten nursing bottle,
threw it and it's milky contents overheard.
BURSTS INTO FLAME.
When he tried to sweep away some OF
the liquid which had spilled, 1t burst into
a flame which was difficult to extin-
guish, and filled the boat with sitting
fumes OF phosphorus. 1t had been placed
where any lady's foot or the sweep of her
skirts would have ignIted it. Passengers
were coming on board when the flames
broke out, but thew were sent ashore and
the boat was sent into midstream and
ventilated. The last attempt was also
probably made Thursday night, or pre-
vious to that time, because no one would
have the hardihoOd to attempt it since
vigilance has been aroused.
THE LAST SCHEME.
A piece OF cotton wadding about 16
inches square and nearly inches thick
was found tackled near the wood work on
the outside of the northern end OF the
gentlemen's closets, where It was con-
cealed from view. A hole about inches
in diameter had been cut through the
partition large enough TO admit mans
hand from the inside of the closet. An
attempt had been made to light the cot
ton, as the edges were partially singed.
The perpetrator of the villainous act evil
IDENTIFY worked from the inside of the
closet. 1t rained heavily that night and
the cotton quickly went out. 1t had
probably been saturated with q chemical
mixture to make it burn.

Another Remarkable Exhibition of
His Wonderful Gift.
NEW YORK, March 5.--IrvIng Bishop,
the mind reader, gave public exhibition
to-day. A party gathered at the Hoffman
House, and Mr.. Bishop requested four
gentlemen to act as a committee. They
were Col. Thomas W. Knox, DR.. Hovt,

Carleton of the World. He took q scarf
pin from Mrs. Frank Leslie, which he
gave TO the committee and told them to
take it to any place they might designate
within mile of the hotel and conceal it.
The committee drove off in O carriage and
were gone about half an hour. On
their return Mir. Bishop asked one OF the
committee to blindtold him. This was
done by tying cotton batting around his
eyes. Then black bag was put over his
head and fastened around his neck. A
carriage was waiting at the door and in
this Mr.. Bishop and three memb ers OF the
committee took seats, and Mr.. Bishop
took the reins and drove off through
the great crowd of people and vehicles,
guiding the horses with remarkable dex-
terity, considering that he could not use
mis- eyes. He drove almost directly to
the Gramercy Park Hotel. into which he
turned without hesitation. He wake d
into room and placed his hand ON a vase
which rested upon table. and under the
vase WAS the scarf pin. The success of
the exhibition was surprise to all.
